A handmade Chinese jewellery box from 1990–2000, made of wood with lacquer, black finish and rich brass hardware, with mother-of-pearl inlay and colorful decorations, measuring 22 cm high, 15 cm wide and 12 cm deep, in a fair used condition with minor cracks and lacquer loss.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This characterful Chinese jewelry box exudes pure authenticity. It is a handcrafted, traditional box in used and well-worn condition, exactly the kind of patina that enthusiasts of old Asian objects appreciate.
The wood is deeply black lacquered and richly decorated with fine brass fittings: elegant corner pieces, a beautifully shaped carrying handle, and a typical Chinese latch on the double doors. The front and sides are also decorated with inlay work of mother-of-pearl and colored elements, depicting floral motifs and birds. Due to its age, small cracks, signs of wear, and paint losses are visible — all signs of a long life and intensive use.
Behind the small doors lies traditional craftsmanship: designed to safely store jewelry, small valuables, or calligraphy supplies.
A beautiful decorative object that can serve as both a collector's item and a focal point in your interior. This jewelry box is not a perfectly polished museum piece, but rather an honest, well-loved, and authentic Chinese object with a soul.
